Lanie Freeman and her siblings have survived the Great Depression without their father. They are convinced that he has been unjustly imprisoned. Lanie's strong-willed sister, Maeva, runs away to Los Angeles to find the one woman in a city of thousands who can prove their father's innocence. Nothing Lanie says can deter Maeva from her mission. Even as her family seems to be unraveling, Lanie's dream of writing becomes a reality. Lanie is on the verge of becoming a published author. Amid the excitement, she still feels a deep longing for something more, a yearning for love, a home, and a family of her own. When two suitors propose, it does nothing to quiet her heart. Lanie resigns herself to leave Maeva's safety and her father's future in God's hands. But can she trust God to show her the right man and the right plan for her life?

This series of books is wonderful! I had checked out series 1and 2 from the library. I loved them, and could not wait to read 3 and 4. The library did not have them, nor could they get them from another library, so I ordered them; I had to see what else happened! Great! Story takes place during the depression. Very intertaining!

I thought this was a nice finish to the Singing River Series. I absolutely love books set in this time period (Depression Era). Gilbert Morris has a way of making his characters come to life and you feel as if you know them. Whenever I finished each of these books, I felt sorry, for it was nice to escape to an era gone by.
